Cat ® CW16 pneumatic compactor
Designed for use on granular materials and all types of asphaltmix designs , the new Cat ® CW16 pneumatic ( rubber-tyre ) roller is available as a standard ninewheel model with a 1 754mm compaction width or as an optional 11-wheel model with a 2 132mm compaction width . The CW16 is designed for efficient performance on highways , city streets , county roads , lane additions , industrial sites , overlays , or other mid-size jobs .
Depending on ballast used , operating weight varies from a 5 200kg base configuration to an approximate maximum weight of 15 000kg for the nine-wheel configuration and 14 900kg for the 11-wheel configuration . Perwheel weight can be varied from 580kg to 1 670kg for the ninewheel model and from 480kg to 1 350kg for the 11-wheel model .
Oscillating front wheels assist in compacting soft voids across the entire machine width , and the 11-wheel configuration increases efficiency in chip-and-seal applications . A tyre overlap of 32mm ensures even compaction across the surface . Each wheel is equipped with self-adjusting scrapers , and a water-spray system deters material from adhering to the wheel surface . Standard cocoa mats help retain water to keep wheels wet , and heat-retention aprons are available .

The LRT 1090-2.1 rough-terrain mobile crane features a 47m hydro-mechanical telescoping boom system with rope pull technology .
A pressurised water-spray system is designed with dedicated spray nozzles for each wheel . The system includes a single water pump , triple filtration , and adjustable intermittent operation . Triple filtration ( with filters at the fill point ), in conjunction with the design of the water pump and spray nozzles , provides protection against clogs . The adjustable intermittent-spray mode conserves water and reduces the number of refills required .
Two engines are available for the CW16 to meet regional emissions requirements . The Cat C3.4B ACERT™ engine meets US EPA Tier 4 Final / EU Stage IV standards , and the Cat C4.4 meets the equivalent of US EPA
Tier 3 / EU Stage IIIA / China NR III standards . An eco-mode , in combination with an exclusive automatic speed-control system , is designed to save fuel , lower sound levels , and deliver smooth transitions for optimum mat quality . Both engines are rated at 101.9 horsepower ( 75kW ).
The CW16 ’ s two-speed hydrostatic propel system is electronically controlled and designed to provide both jobsite manoeuvrability and speeds up to 19km / h . The propel system automatically shifts between speed ranges and has a coast feature that conserves fuel . Tyre choices include a 12-ply 7.5 × 15 radial or a 14-ply 7.5 × 15 bias-ply . The machine is designed to provide exceptional visibility
for the operator , the result of a newly designed console and the machine ’ s standard , rotating operator ’ s station . An LCD
display and push-button controls simplify operation for an allaround comfortable operating environment . A ROPS canopy or sun canopy is available .
The standard , 500-hour , engine-oil-service interval reduces both routinemaintenance time and overall operating costs . The CW16 ’ s large-capacity hydraulic- and engine-cooling systems keep components at optimum temperatures , even in high ambient temperatures , extending service life for such critical components as hydraulic pumps and motors .

The first Volvo ‘ GoGreen ’ articulated hauler , an A25G , has now rolled off the production line in Braås and made its way to the Robert Aebi headquarters in Regensdorf outside Zürich . |
Volvo
Braås , Sweden , in 2014 became the company ’ s and the construction equipment industry ’ s first production facility to be powered entirely by renewable energy . It is here that the A25G haulers are manufactured .
